Don't discount the short-term use of sleeping pills to help you reset your rhythm a bit. Using them for a week isn't going to create a dependency, but it may be enough to help you get through whatever is making it difficult for you to fall asleep.
- odiroot 5y ago> Don't discount the short-term use of sleeping pills to help you reset your rhythm a bit. Yes but before reaching for benzos maybe try something milder like zopiclone?
- tallanvor 5y agoI think a lot of people don't really know the difference between benzos and Z- drugs, so we don't really know what the prescription was for. Also, many countries have decided that the research hasn't shown any reason to prefer Z- drugs like zopiclone over benzos for short-term use.
- Clampower 5y agoI took one, one night when I felt particularly hopeless. But I might just do the rest every night in a row to do that reset. In my mind I don’t want to “waste” them as it feels somehow safe to have them in my drawer just in case. It’s Temazepam btw.
- dtech 5y agoif it's just for rhythm trying Melatonin first is better, since it doesn't cause lower-quality sleep and has no addictive properties
